Manning took basically the same team that Tebow got destroyed by NE to the SB, by thrashing NE. Poetic justice.

Wed, 29 Jan 2014 21:32:48 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2240757#comment-3125231If he’s that good of a coach, how did that very talented 2006 team, coming off an NFC championship game appearance, manage to go 8-8? Why didn’t the game plan for the 2008 playoff game include actually covering Larry Fitzgerald BEFORE Arizona got a 21-point lead? And why did he insist on slavish obedience to that stupid damn card that says you ALWAYS go for 2 when you are down 5, even if it’s in the second quarter, like he did in that Super Bowl? And if he’s such a great coach, how was he the only one on Earth who didn’t see the lockout coming in 2010, and put the best players on the field? Was Tony Pike a good NFL QB? No. But he had been with the team since being drafted in April, but Fox hates rookies so much, he insisted that Brian St. Pierre, with the team for 5 days, “gave us the best chance to win” because he was the “known quantity,” even though he never accomplished a thing in the NFL.

Fox is a great DC. He’s an OK head coach, nowhere near a great one.

I, for one, don’t miss him here in Carolina. After a shaky start, Riverboat Ron is doing just fine.

Hopefully that part’s different.

___________
Whats makes it an obvious dig is that he said “I think” – Which is not true. HE KNOWS. We all know cus they have only been in the league for a while. He just wants to make sure you dont forget that.
______________
Also he said:
“This time of year from now, I’ll have a completely different team”
__________
Thats also not true. The team will only be slightly different/

They were preparing for the lockout and didn’t want to spend money and didn’t care about the talent… It was miserable and they screwed Fox. We miss him here but I hope he does well on Sunday!

Wed, 29 Jan 2014 18:13:09 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2240757#comment-3124702That was really really subtle. Perhaps, it wasn’t a dig – Foxy was just sharing some thoughts, with no intent to grind the Carolina white-collared shirts.
